No prior experience is required, just a willingness to offer compassion and respect to our patients and their families.

"Gentiva is filled with wonderful people giving to those who need it the most. Through volunteering, I have been able to accept the passing's of my Grandfathers and move forward with my life. I credit them for helping me become the woman I am today." -Kindred Vigil Volunteer

Please consider becoming a Gentiva Hospice Volunteer today! All visits are made based upon your availability. Training with the Volunteer Coordinator and Chaplain are required for this position.
